Motivations, history1 t E2E W k h i 20081st E2E Workshop in 2008

1st ”Establishing Lightpaths”1st ”Establishing Lightpaths”

› E-science applications can generate network flows measured in Gb/s, enduring hours, days or even weeks, often between a , g , y ,well-defined set of nodes, and with tight constraints on quality of service

› The needs of such applications are best met by traffic pp yengineered point-to-point circuits, rather than best effort routed networks like the public Internet.

› End-to-end lightpaths (i.e., Gigabit Ethernet circuits or even g p ( , glambdas) are becoming very important in the service portfolios of NRENs

Outcome of the discussionsi t tinterest areas

1. Unified/Standardised network architectures for end-to-end provisioningp g

2. Simplicity of the provisioning processes and software tools› Faster provisioning has still highest priority over dynamic provisioning

nowadays› Fast and automated restoration of the broken connections

3. Availability of resources, especially in the last mile› Fibre availability, Spectrum efficiency› Access technology (PONs, Ethernet-based platforms), Cost efficiency

4. Reliability of point-to-point circuits

End-to-End Provisioning Workshop

5. Implication of end-to-end connections on security (firewalling) aspects, routing integrity and IP addressing issues

6. Operational issues: cooperation between netwrok engineers and application engineers

3rd ”Applications and Services”3rd ”Applications and Services”

- There is an issue with the lack of applications requiring e2e connections: We need to identify the key applications and promote e2e services for end-users.services for end users.

- We should include the application developers/designers: We need to deal with real application-to-application services and not just edge-to-edge connection services.

- We need to understand the campus policies.

- We need attractive business models and we need to understand and explain the cost implications of e2e services for usersexplain the cost implications of e2e services for users.

- Discussions about tools and architectures as well as the roles and responsibilities undertaken by various players of the whole end-to-end (i.e. application-to-application) workflow.

Outcome of the discussions (2011)GLIF C TF

Technical issues:

GLIF Campus TF survey

”Providing a fiber or 10GE link with enough level of unused bandwidth from the circuit touch-down point to an user's site.”

”To provide lightpaths to real end users (i.e. desktop)”

”Incompatibility between campus and NREN equipment”

”Campus network are not build for such things (sometimes only Ethernet)”

”BoD software must supports wide scope of network equipment used in campus network”

”S i i i C l h i l”Security management, Monitoring, Control, technical accounting management”

Slide 22

Outcome of the discussions (2011)GLIF C TFGLIF Campus TF survey

Non-technical issues:” Involvement of several layers within organisation (researcher, network staff, ...) - Putting it all together”

”Getting researchers and campus IT people of all participating Getting researchers and campus IT people of all participating parties involved in the project.”

”Need more understanding about lightpath itself to campus network user or operator”

”More secure communication framework over lightpath”

”Campus are not really incorporated in end2end service design (more an after thought)”

Slide 23

”Who can use lightpaths and who will pay for it”

Next steps...

”E2E S i A hit t V ifi ti ” di i”E2E Service Architecture Verifiction” discussion
